    seed potatoes with long shoots

    You can leave them in a cool light space for a while if you're not ready to plant out yet. The shoots will green up and strengthen a bit. Plant carefully as already said.

    When to Cut Back Semi-Neglected Lavender and Santolina

    Yes a few years ago we visited a garden in Suffolk. They had a border with some very old Lavenders which still looked fine. They said they cut back hard in February-March each year.

    Definitely we will repeat with the 'Orange Emperor' tulips next year, we loved their color on our terrace so much!! Perhaps we'll plant more, given the result.
